On June 3, New York's state government hiked the cigarette-excise tax. But it continues to do nothing to collect the tax on sales to non-Indians at stores on Native American reservations.
Now the New York branch of American Lung Association (ALA- NY) has launched a Web site that tallies the amount of tax that the state has failed to collect since that June 3 hike.
The ALANY ticker puts the lost tax revenue at more than $288 million in less than five months.
The failure to enforce the law also costs the state substantial amounts in lost sales taxes - and reduces New York City's own excise-tax collection. The total revenue loss works out to more than a billion dollars a year. See the Ticker
